Hair colouring: clarify consultation before quoting
When colouring needs the salon’s assessment, the assistant should explain the consultation route and preserve the customer’s request. It must not decide suitability, allergies or final price. A consultation request is clarification rather than acceptance of treatment.
Understand the task
A salon may have different requirements for new customers or particular services. Describe only requirements it has approved. General product or skin-reaction advice cannot replace professional consultation, and sensitive information is unnecessary to give a practical contact route.
Prepare these inputs
- The salon’s approved consultation procedure.
- The services the procedure applies to.
- Approved explanation of pricing basis without a personal estimate.
A practical workflow
- Clarify whether the customer asks about a specific service or consultation.
- Show the relevant contact route and salon-approved practical preparation.
- Route individual circumstances to staff. A model must not waive consultation merely to complete a booking.
Worked example, not a customer case
An illustrative example
Illustrative example: a customer asks for a price for a photographed result. The assistant explains that the salon must clarify service and scope. It helps request contact without converting the image into a fixed quote or assessing what the hair can tolerate.
Test failures and exceptions
| Test input | Expected outcome |
|---|---|
| The customer wants to skip consultation. | Retain the salon’s approved process. |
| The question mentions a possible product reaction. | No product-safety or health assessment by the model. |
Evaluate whether it helps
Measure whether intake makes the staff conversation easier without extra errors. Record unapproved price statements and waived requirements. More direct bookings are not the goal when clarification is required.
Next step: Approve consultation routing as a useful outcome rather than forcing every request into booking.
